Question about super class - El Forum - 09-26-2009
[eluser]shinokada[/eluser]
In the system/libraries/Controller.php, it says the following.
/* CodeIgniter Application Controller Class
*
* This class object is the super class that every library in
* CodeIgniter will be assigned to.
Q1. Does it mean I don't need to load it, if a class is super class?
Q2. If I extend Controller in applications/libraries/MY_Controller.php, will it be automatically loaded?
Thanks in advance.

Yes, you don't need to explicitly load it anywhere (ignoring the effect of the parent and extends constructs).

MY_Controller - assuming you keep the MY_ prefix as defined in your config - will be looked-for, and loaded automagically. Your Controllers will then need to extend and call MY_Controller as their parent, though, of course.
